SA39260
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39260/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Sun Java, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input sanitation error in the
Java Deployment Toolkit browser plugin. This can be exploited to pass
arbitrary arguments to javaw.exe and e.g. execute a JAR file placed on
a network share in a privileged context.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code by
tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page.
The vulnerability is confirmed in JRE version 6 Update 19. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links. Set the
kill-bit for affected ActiveX controls.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Independently discovered by Tavis Ormandy and Ruben Santamarta.
CHANGELOG:
2010-04-13: Added link to US-CERT.
